A call to action from the ELCA advocacy group

The current Congress will be in Washington for a lame duck session the week of November 17. The nation's need for economic recovery is urgent, and we believe Congress should act as quickly as possible. One thing Congress can do immediately to help low and moderate-income families is to support job creation measures and provide additional support for safety net programs that are especially needed during times of economic hardship.
Our partners at the Coalition on Human Needs have provided an easy way to get this message to the lame duck Congress. Simply go to the following link and send Congress a brief email: http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/125/campaign.jsp?campaign_KEY=26088 Thank you for taking this easy action during these tough times. For more information on the current advocacy work of the ELCA, visit our website at www.elca.org/advocacy.

Be blessed.
